Since its official announcement in December 2023 , anticipation for the game has only grown. The first official trailer , released on Rockstar's social media, surpassed 230 million views on YouTube , becoming one of the most-watched gaming videos on the platform. Despite its success, the lack of new updates has generated speculation about a possible delay to 2026 .
GTA 6 Release: Expectations and Rumors
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick stated in an interview with IGN that GTA 6 is still scheduled for 2025. He emphasized that Rockstar Games maintains high quality standards , but does not intend to indefinitely prolong the game's development.
Rumors of a delay began after a long period of silence from the company in 2024. However, Zelnick reinforced that the studio is committed to releasing GTA 6 on schedule and that 2025 will be one of the most important years in Take-Two's history .
If Rockstar sticks to the schedule, it will release the game approximately 12 years after GTA 5 , which hit the market in 2013. This is the longest interval between releases in the franchise.
The price of GTA 6 may be higher than expected
Besides the wait for the game, one of the issues that most worries fans is the possible increase in the price of GTA 6. Some analysts suggest that, due to the popularity of the franchise , Take-Two could set an initial price of up to US$100 without compromising sales.
In recent years, the prices of AAA games have risen to $70 , a standard adopted by many companies since the launch of the new generation of consoles. However, an increase above that value could affect audience reception .
Some in the community argue that the growth of microtransactions and special editions already guarantees sufficient profit for developers. However, some experts believe that raising the initial price could drive players away and impact sales at launch .
Rockstar Games and Take-Two have not yet officially commented on the game's price.
Anticipation for the second trailer and new information
Since Rockstar has yet to release an official launch date, GTA 6 remains among the most anticipated games in the industry . Thus, Rockstar maintains its strategy of revealing information at its own pace , without following traditional events like E3 or Gamescom .
The biggest expectation now is for the second trailer , which may bring new details about the gameplay, setting, and characters . The first video already confirmed that the game will take place in Vice City , with the protagonist Lucia as one of the central characters.
While Rockstar hasn't revealed any new information, fans remain attentive to any official news .
